Yesterday I wrote about the four cautionary points on the Future of SharePoint that myself and our team of SharePoint experts feel are noteworthy. Getting that I aside, I am pleased to write in a more positive tone, on the five ways that SharePoint 2016 will improve the workplace.

On May 4, Microsoft held an event to announce the Future of SharePoint with the coming availability of SharePoint Server 2016. Without a doubt, the shiny announcement was impressive and heralded excitement from our team here at Bonzai Intranet.

First launched in 2001, SharePoint is a Microsoft Office product that allows organizations to easily create and manage collaborative, private-websites. Prior to SharePoint's launch, Microsoft recognized the need to unite business functions that once operated in silos. Today, the centrally managed enterprise platform combines the workings of an intranet, extranet, content management system, enterprise search engine, business intelligence database and workflow manager.

Dynamic Owl Consulting, Microsoft™ Gold Partner and creator of Bonzai Intranet for SharePoint and Office 365, is proud to announce that they have been recognized by global intranet thought-leader StepTwo Designs, for their development of the innovative "Hands Up" App for client BGC Engineering.

In the past twenty years there have been many tools and mediums used to communicate within the workplace. From the telephone, to the fax machine, to email, to the intranet, we’ve relied on a lot of technology to help us connect and engage with others.

Bonzai Intranet continues our support of SharePoint Saturday events with our Platinum Sponsorship at SPS Redmond October 24th in the Microsoft Conference Center in Building 33 at 16070 NE 36th Way in Redmond.

There are two common questions people often have when considering an intranet. “How can I ensure confidential documents don’t end up in the wrong hands?” And, “How do I make sure I review and approve any potential content before it gets posted?”

To some of us, the thought of naming an intranet may seem like a silly idea. Do we name our CRM or accounting software? Probably not. But an intranet is unique and unlike a lot of other enterprise technology. It’s a social tool that enables and encourages company-wide collaboration. It’s about community more than it is about technology.

No matter how successful your business is, there will inevitably be times where you and your employees hit a productivity slump. Sometimes this is as a result of employee turnover. Sometimes it’s from decreased sales. Or sometimes it’s just simply because winter is approaching and everyone’s energy has diminished.

Be the hero for your organization
